In recent years, many western country citizens (also Known as Expats) are exploring overseas living to increase their quality of life and find ways to compensate for increasing costs in life in western countries. Most western citizens approaching retirement age are dependent on plans defined 20+ years ago, in which their exacted retirement incomes no longer keeping pace with expected cost of living increases. But here is the good news, is it a fact that living outside western countries allows you to retire much earlier, with your saving lasting longer, and you can live a more satisfying and healthy lifestyle than western countries can offer.
If you are living in a western country, there has never been a better time to improve your quality of life by exploring living abroad. This website provides insight into over 80 topics regarding living abroad!
Let us help you find your ideal Retirement Location!
When is the best time for you to Retire?
Everyone should be able to retire and enjoy a quality life, but this is coming more challenging with each year. The cost of living continues to rise, while the shrinking value of the USD shows wages have not increased since the 1970s. Therefore, your retirement plan needs major revisions. But few people have done this.
There are formulas that calculate when you have enough to retire “Comfortably”. My research has shown these calculation methods no longer present a reasonable strategy for the majority of people today. These traditional retirement formulas may still work for the very wealthy, but the traditional retirement planning strategies in the west no longer work for the average person. (85%+ of the population)

I assure you, there are better options are out there. Everyone should be able to retire and enjoy a quality retirement life.

How to plan your financial future in 2025
Here is a secret few people consider, Where you retire is single the most important choice you will make about your retirement plans. This is more critical than your financial status, even your future health and happiness is heavily influenced by where you retire. So why is this not the key priority when “experts” talk about retirement plans?
Your traditional Western Advisors insist you focus on getting in good financial shape (2 million+ USD in Assets is a common number I hear). Then they also recommend having good retirement benefits lined up, including healthcare, life insurance, a good investment portfolio to get you some interest and dividends during retirement. While this would be “ideal” in the past. Today, most people find these goals out of reach and out of touch with reality. The increasing costs of living along with lower quality of life in western countries leaves many with better options to retire elsewhere. Statistically, over 50% of aging Americans have little or no savings in 2025. The reality of a changing world is starting to become obvious that relocating to a cheaper cost of Living (COL) location maybe the best viable option to a better retirement life.
The first question you should ask yourself when talking about Retirement is…
“Where can I afford to live a high quality life in retirement for as long as possible and as soon as possible?”
Once you answer this question, you will see all your other retirement plans will work much easier, with huge benefits for doing so.
